My housemate Christopher and I are challenging each other every two weeks to keep things exciting this year.

My first two week challenge of 2010. The challenge: make a lip-sync video to Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” starring at least 10 people I didn’t know personally.

I started out in Dolores Park, and rocked out with a few fun folks, but after getting a full time job the next day, realized I needed another way to get videos. That’s where Reddit and Amazon’s Mechanical Turk came in. Thanks internet! For free to a dollar, you sent me videos of yourselves a-sing-song.

So here’s the final product, 10 people, 1 cat, and 1 crazy deer.

I’ve been posting something new to Flickr every day for 42 days now. There’s some pretty cool stuff, if I say so myself. Have a look!

New Year’s Eve – 2008. Just found I never uploaded this. Whoops?

My father recently found quite a few slides from 1948 and had them digitized for various reasons. One of those reasons probably wasn’t so that I could mess around with them with Photoshop, but I did anyway.

Above is my version of my grandfather’s dive into a wonderfully blue pool. A bit different than the original slide below. It’s amazing what 60 years can do to a photograph…

Feel free to click through to Flickr and comment there.

As Shatner’s a trending topic right now, it seemed fitting to share some of his earlier work, not involving a gun-crazy ex-governor.

Amazing, right? Why is he climbing the mountain? Because he LOVES the mountain. Makes sense, really.
